Rezensionen

"This book critically examines the complex interplay between translation studies, comparative literature, and cultural studies, fostering intercultural dialogue in a globalized world. It highlights the central role of cultural translation, offers valuable insights, and contributes significantly to our understanding of the inextricable link between translation and cultural studies."

Yifeng Sun, Chair Professor of Translation Studies, University of Macau

"In The Cultural Turn in Translation Studies, Prof. Wang Ning masterfully decenters some of the concepts that have attracted the attention of comparatists and translation scholars for decades, infusing them with a welcome Asian perspective that comes not only from his distinguished academic career, but also from his work as a translator of Western literary and scholarly works."

Roberto A. Valdeón, Full Professor in English Studies, Universidad de Oviedo

"This book contributes significantly to establishing Translation Studies as an independent and important discipline by expanding its objects of study and methodology. It is a must-read for all scholars of translation and cultural studies seeking to understand what is heading at this moment in these two fields."
